Broke broke broke

I woke up this morning and realized I was broke

I didn't  have enough case to buy two cans of Coke

My credit card was maxed so l couldn't get an advance

I only had an e-bike which they will not refinance

I have no money to buy a gift for my girlfriend

And most of my family are in no mood to lend

I have been to the pawn shop to hock my guitar

The bank sent a row truck to repossess my car

It didn't matter much my insurance had elapsed

I shed so many tears in my last beers I almost collapsed 

My old boss and me did not agree so I was sacked

I missed four days in a row a breach of my contract

The union is fighting for me and will loan me a tent

The landlord says he'll evict me in a letter of intent

I better get a part time job for security and rent

I don't  think I'll be going to any st Patrick's day even

Over the years I've paid my bills I  was up to date

I'm  afraid not month's Visa payment will be late

When friends want a loan repaid I have some excuse

They often mention seeing me in bars soaking up booze

In my richer days of yore I  often freely lent

Had flashy clothes and cars and freely overspent

Because of excesses I'm reduced to public transportation 

And I guess next summer there will be no Irish vacation

I can't get a loan or gift a handout or an outright donation

When I  ask my children it becomes a confrontation

Because of bad management I  lack family support

I'm not so responsible I'm  often a wee bit short

If things don't quickly improve I may become a squatter

Instead of fancy resteraunts I be on a diet of bread and water.
